Hey FM, I am sorry to hear about your illness. You don't seem like the type to just roll over and give up so I know that you will do what you can. Keep family close as they will be the ones to help you through this. Your TGP family is pulling for you.

Wow, i just stumbled on this thread and all i have to say is that I'm shocked. I know that I never really got to know you, but you've been a staple here at tgp. I hope that everything goes well and wish you the best of luck. Have fun while you can and live life to the fullest. :)

Well I dont know where to begin.In 1990 my mother was standing at the kitchen table and just fell over.They rushed her to the hospital where she was diagnosed with 4 anneurisms on her brain.While I had to travel some 1200 miles to get there my 3 sisters decided to go ahead and have the surgery to save our mother,at the risk of her becoming a vegetable.The surgeon cut 4 holes in her skull with a tool,somewhat like a bit used to cut through a door to install a handle.She was in surgery for 14 hours and survived it.When she came out her eyes were solid white and looked like they were ready to just pop roght out of her head.She survived and of course had to have eye surgery from the eye institute here.She also had lost all motor functions.Including,but not limited to:couldnt stand or walk,move her hands or arms,lost all speach.She was like a newborn baby.After an extended period of time,with therapy she recovered,but has never been quite the same.She lives alone and handles her own,such as paying her bills and cleaning her house and what have you.Not quite the same but still our mom.After the surgery,in 1990,they gave har a max or 7 years to live....17 years later she's still kickin.
I think that what I am trying to say is there is always hope.And never give in!
I have another example of a very close friend,however it is another long one.So I will stop here.
With that said;Myself and my entire family wish you well.

Hope you don't take this the wrong way, but you have given me pause to value what time I have here, and I am normally pretty pessimistic about life, my future, etc. Of course we've all heard it all before, but you have to live each moment like its your last, and savor what good there is in life.
